Method for parsing an information string to extract requested information related to a device coupled to a network in a multi-protocol remote monitoring system

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product for parsing an information string to extract requested information related to a remotely monitored device communicatively coupled to a network, including accessing the device using an HTTP protocol to obtain an information string associated with the device; determining, based on a type of the requested information, data extraction information for optimally extracting the requested information from the device; parsing the information string according to the data extraction information to identify substrings within the information string; and determining the requested information based on the information string, identified substrings, and the data extraction information.
